About CVS

CVS, the Concurrent Versions System, is a version control system
which supports branching, multiple users, and remote collaboration. CVS
maintains a history of all changes made to each directory tree it
manages. Using this history, CVS can recreate past states of the tree,
or show a user when, why, and by whom a given change was made.

CVS has both client and server components which usually run on
different systems and communicate via internet protocols. CVS client
and server software is available in
both source and binary form. The server is compatible with most Unix
variants and clients exist for many platforms.

About MacCVS Pro

MacCVS Pro is a completely free CVS client for Mac OS which is available at this site in both source and binary
form. Its Finder-like interface with
drag and drop capability is designed to be intuitive for non-technical
users, and its features such as true CVS Log and Status commands are
designed to be useful for professional software engineers. In addition,
MacCVS Pro is multi-threaded so operations can be executed
simultaneously.

MacCVS Pro was originally developed at Netscape beginning in 1996 by
engineers working on Navigator and other projects for use inside the
company and has been known internally since then, simply, as MacCVS.
